לדבר רוסית מהיום הראשון.

Yes. Luma starts at complete beginner (A1): she greets you in Russian, keeps most of the conversation in your own language at first and moves more of it into Russian as you go. Coach suggestions stay on for beginners, so you always know what you could say next, and the first lessons cover greetings, numbers and everyday phrases.

No. You can start speaking on day one and turn on a romanization alongside the Russian, in the conversation and on your vocabulary cards. Cyrillic is quick to pick up once you're already saying the words, and most people stop needing the romanization within a few weeks.

As you talk, in the transcript. A slip like "я живу в Москва" is highlighted with the fix beside it, "я живу в Москве", and a Why? that explains it in a line. The conversation keeps going. Your slips then come back as quick drills, so the fix sticks.

You'll learn them the way Russians did: by saying them. Luma corrects the ending the moment it comes out wrong, with a one-line Why?, and the Learn path adds grammar lessons and pattern drills that run one case at a time until it stops needing thought. You won't fill in declension tables, you'll say the sentence again until it's right.

Yes. Every day includes a free conversation with Luma, plus basic vocabulary practice. Luma Max unlocks unlimited conversations, all scenarios and full personalization, with monthly and yearly plans and a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.

Yes. Tell Luma what you need, in your own words, and she builds the conversation around it: the metro, a café, a pharmacy, small talk with colleagues, dinner with someone's family. There are hundreds of roleplays and lessons to pick from too, at every level.
